lyrics

She’s got the perfect vision of Utopia
Why would I interfere with her?
An auteur of living, so sensible and free of debris
She is both it’s keyhole and it’s key
And when she swings open that door
All of us rats scream and then retreat
Though it may be an unpopular belief
I must keep my woman happy

And if I ever argue with her
It’s only to dispute
Who is what
Natural disaster
I claim volcano – my rage stays contained
She is the earthquake – she makes the whole damn house shake
If anything is not in its place
Or chips away at Fung shui
She works so hard to maintain
But my job is so easy
I must keep my woman happy

I wiped away every spider web
I went ahead and got rid
Of my haunted bed
Swept up every last cigarette
As she cautiously hung
Her taxidermy deer head

But my head is staying on my neck
The object
Is to keep her from seeing red
Instead
I direct
Her to our infinite sunset
The distance from us to the moon
Is assisted from the rushing plume
Twisting from the fire in our chests
But the moon makes a bet
As it slyly winks at me
“You must keep your woman happy…”

(Her only imperfection? Her intolerance for imperfection)
